Israel reopened its Ghana embassy, which had been closed for 38 years since the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Addressing the ties with the African nation, Ambassador Sharon Bar-Li told journalists that "There is love for Israel and true friendship here."
"In my conversation with (Ghana's) president, he told me that there are Israeli business people here, mutual visits and good ties," she said. "All that was missing was an ambassador."
